In the present thesis, analytical methods based on gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry, both single (GC-MS) or tandem (GC-MS/MS), have been developed and optimized for the detection and quantification of ...
Dust has been used as a surrogate of indoor organic contamination for several decades. Their concerns for human health include from sensitization effects such as allergies to toxic effects derived from those organic ...
Cyanobacteria are prokaryotes and components of regular periphyton formation. Overall, there are around 2000 cyanobacterial species that live in various environments. Some cyanobacterial species are known to form blooms, ...
[eng] Remote high mountains allow the study of the environmental fate of legacy and emerging anthropogenic chemicals that form a worldwide diffuse background layer of pollution. Semi- volatile compounds like polychlorinated ...
The assessment of pesticide occurrence in different environmental compartments has become a matter of outstanding importance since its effects on exposed organisms may be considered a warning on the potential risk these ...
Photopharmacology has the main purpose to allow the control of protein activity with light. The most exploited strategy used to achieve this objective is the freely diffusible photopharmacology and it is based in the use ...
Paralelamente al desarrollo de la Química Organometálica, se ha producido un notable, y en ocasiones espectacular, avance en el campo de los hidruro-complejos en el que el platino ha desempeñado un papel destacado, siendo ...
Digital technologies are generating a global transformation with economic, social, and environmental implications. Digitalization has already shown many benefits to society; however, it is also generating a fierce debate ...
Proteases are involved in a high number of diseases, and thus, are relevant targets. For that reason our main goal was the discovery of protease inhibitors as therapeutic agents. We focused our study in four proteases: ...
Proteins are flexible entities, and thus move. Its function is closely related to the flexibility. To carry out any function is necessary a conformational change. As protein motions imply an exchange of conformations, ...
Este trabajo se ha concebido como continuación de otros anteriores, realizados en el Departamento de Química Técnica de la Facultad de Química de la Universidad de Barcelona, sobre sulfonación con SO(3) vapor en reactor ...
Como se puede comprobar por la cantidad de ejemplos que se han descrito y siguen describiéndose en la literatura, la síntesis en fase sólida se ha erigido como un método extremadamente eficaz para la obtención de péptidos ...
En el Departamento de Química Inorgánica de la Universidad de Barcelona se está desarrollando desde 1984 una línea de investigación que tiene como objeto la síntesis de compuestos con enlace metal-metal en la que uno de ...
CHAPTER 1: Respiratory Infectious Diseases (RID) are diseases affecting the air passages, the bronchi and the lungs. They range from acute infections, such as pneumonia and bronchitis, to chronic conditions such as ...
Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs) and fluoroquinolone antibiotics (FQs) are pollutants of environmental interest due to their widespread presence in environmental compartments and their high toxicity and disrupting effects ...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is the most common form of dementia. It was first described in 1906 by Alois Alzheimer. Later on, in 1984 George Glenner and Colin Masters isolated the amyloid-beta (Aβ) peptide from a human brain ...
Marine natural products (MNPs) are, undoubtedly, highly valuable starting points for drug-development programs. Generally, MNPs show a well-defined spatial orientation that have evolved for thousands of years to interact ...
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder which major risk factor is age. Current drugs only offer symptomatic alleviation in AD, thus a disease-modifying treatment is urgent. The amyloid-β (Aβ) protein ...
Nowadays there is a growing interest in the capture and utilization of CO2 because of the increase of its concentration in the atmosphere. Captured CO2 can be recycled through different processes to obtain several value-added ...
Natural toxins include a multitude of toxic secondary metabolites produced by animals, bacteria, fungi algae, and plants that are generally not intended as environmental contaminants of concern for water quality. However, ...
